In Lincoln, Nebraska, on December 2, 2024, it was officially announced that Dana Holgorsen will continue as the offensive coordinator for the University of Nebraska's football team under head coach Matt Rhule. Holgorsen was initially brought on board in early November as a consultant and quickly transitioned to the role of offensive coordinator and play-caller for the final three games of the regular season. During this time, the team recorded a total of 1 win and 2 losses, but there was a notable improvement in offensive performance, including a standout game against Wisconsin where Nebraska achieved its highest score since 2021. This improvement led to Holgorsen's decision to extend his contract, which will now pay him $1.2 million per year. Nebraska aims to build on this momentum as they prepare for their upcoming bowl game and future seasons. Dana Holgorsen has a notably successful background in offensive coaching, having spent the last thirteen years as a head coach for West Virginia and Houston. Prior to that, his experience as an offensive coordinator spans over six seasons with impressive average finishes in several offensive metrics at the national level. Coach Rhule expressed enthusiasm for the direction Holgorsen is taking the offense, believing there is significant potential for growth. With Holgorsen at the helm, the team looks to capitalize on the progress already made and propel the offense in the 2025 season and beyond.
